SPECIFICATION forming part of ar ament No, 726,151, dated April 21, 1903.

' Application filed October 1, 1902. Serial No. 125,531. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERTA A. FENNEssY, a citizen of the United States, residingat New comb, in the county of Essex and State of New York, have invented new and useful Inn suspended therein a figure in a swing whichvibrates or moves during the propulsion of the entire toy, together with a sound-emitting device, which nnitedly produces a'toy having a pleasing-and attractive appearance.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several'parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The drawing illustratesa perspective view of a toy embodying the features of the invention.

The numerals 1-- and 2 designate front and rear axles having suitable carrying-wheels 3 thereon, the axles being centrally connected by a reach-wire 4 and the front axle having a pull-cord or like device 5 secured thereto. Adjacent to the ends of the axles l and 2 arches 6 are terminally secured and are preferably constructed of wire, and extending transversely from the upper. central portion of one arch to the other is a counter-arch 7, having a central twist-loop or eye 8, from which a sleigh or other bell 9 is suspended. The counter-arch also has twist-loops or eyes 10 near the ends thereof to receive the terminals of a cord or strand 11 to form a swing in which a figure 12 is disposed centrally above the reach-wire at. The parts 4, 6,. and 7 will bemadeof wire-of a suitable gage and stilfness to retain their shape, preferably spring-wire, and the ends of the arches 6 are looped around the axles 1- and,2, and the counter-arch 7 is immovably held in applied position by twisting the terminals thereof around the center of the upper portions of the arches 6, as clearly shown, in order to provide a greater bearing for the ends of said counter-arch. The figure 12, as shown, is that of a girl; but it will be understood that other figures may be employed, and in applying the same they will be secured in the swing attachment.

The several parts of the toy are light in construction and may be suitably ornamented, and when the device is propelled or drawn forwardly the movement thereof causes the utes to the production of an amusing as well as an attractive toy.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- 1." A toy comprising axles connected by a central reach, arches rising therefrom, a counter =arch transversely extending across from the central portion of one arch to the other, and a swing device suspended'fromthecounter-arch for free movement above the reach and having a figure disposed therein.

2. A toy comprising wheeled axles, arches rising therefrom and connected by a central counter-arch,a flexible strand terminally connected to the counter-arch to provide a swing and having a figure disposed therein, and a sound-emitting device movably suspended from the center of the counter-arch.

3. A toy comprising wheeled axles having supporting means rising thereabove and in cluding a counter-arch, and a flexible strand terminally attached to the said counter-arch to provide a swing-having a figure therein, the swing and figure being movable in the center of the device.

. 4. A toy of the class described comprising wheeled axles connected by a central reach,

arches terminally secured to the axles and rising above the same, a counter-arch extend-- ing transversely from one of the before-men tioned arches to the other and having its ter minals twisted around the. latter and also formed with eyes near the end and at the cen ter, a flexible-strand device terminally secured to the eyes of the counter-arch located near the ends of the latter to providea swing having a figure disposed thereintabove the reach, and a sound-emitting device loosely suspended from the center eye of the sa'id'counter-arch.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
